Teamster flight attendants at Delta's Comair distributed fliers today at the Delta Terminal in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, calling on the company to rescind bankruptcy demands that slash the average Comair flight attendant salary of $28,000 by about $10,880.

Headlined, "Delta Loves to Discriminate and It Shows," the leaflets protest Comair concession demands that would single out the flight attendant unit, represented by Teamsters Local 513 in Cincinnati, for deep cuts.

Earlier this week Local 513 mailed strike authorization ballots to its members in case the contract is struck down and Delta imposes concessions on the Comair flight attendants. On February 21, Cincinnati-based Comair, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Airlines, asked the federal bankruptcy court that is handling Delta's Chapter 11 restructuring to reject Comair's collective bargaining agreement with its flight attendants so that concessions could be imposed.
